St. Louis Rams receiver Stedman Bailey was shot twice in the head ... but has, so far, survived the attack.

Bailey was reportedly sitting in a car with 2 relatives in the Miami Tuesday night when the gunshots were fired. NFL Network says Bailey was a passenger in the car, and the driver was also shot multiple times. The driver apparently blocked Bailey from suffering more serious injuries.

The Rams say they've spoken with Bailey and he is in critical, but stable condition. His wounds are considered non-life threatening, and he'll undergo surgery Wednesday.

Bailey is a South Florida native who's been in the NFL since 2013. Still unclear who pulled the trigger and why ... police are investigating.
